General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an evolutionarily conserved serine/threonine protein kinase | Homo sapiens |
malfunction | phosphorylated enzyme AMPK is involved in impaired glucose metabolism, that increases the risk for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) in humans | Homo sapiens |
additional information | AMPK is activated in response to metabolic stresses, such as hypoxia and ischemia, and the anti-diabetic drug metformin | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) regulates glucose and lipid metabolism via the phosphorylation and subsequent inactivation of its downstream target acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC). AMPK acts as a cellular fuel sensor by controlling intracellular energy levels to maintain appropriate cell growth rates. Phosphorylation and activation of AMPK stimulates fatty acid oxidation through the phosphorylation and subsequent inhibition of its downstream target acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Phosphorylated acetyl-CoA carboxylase may play a role in tumor progression of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck and may help to identify patient subgroups at high risk for poor disease outcome | Homo sapiens |
